High School English: The
total communications curriculum embraces the areas of English (literature,
composition, and speech) and journalism. The chief objectives of the
communications curriculum are to aid the students in acquiring facts and
concepts of literature through the skills of reading, listening and
viewing, and to help the students acquire methods of communication through
speech and writing, while encouraging creativity of expression. The
department operates under the whole language philosophy of the integration
of writing, reading, speaking and listening skills.
Preparatory English: Language Arts study has two
components—literature and composition. The middle school literature
component has been vertically aligned with the high school English
courses. This means that the Prep students are reading prose and
poetry that will introduce them to authors and genres that they will
study in the years to come. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade literary
selections are chosen to complement the students’ work in social
studies. There are summer reading requirements as well. The
composition component includes instruction and practice in writing
essays which allow students to strengthen their grammar, punctuation
and spelling skills.
